Philips reports Q2 comparable sales growth of 3% to EUR 6 billion and operational results of EUR 501 million

Second-quarter highlights

 

  Comparable sales growth of 3% particularly driven by improvements in North America, Central & Eastern Europe and India

 

  EBITA, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, amounted to EUR 501 million, or 8.4% of sales, compared to 7.9% of sales in Q2 2014

 

  EBITA totaled EUR 450 million, or 7.5% of sales, compared to 7.4% of sales in Q2 2014

 

  Net income amounted to EUR 274 million, compared to EUR 243 million in Q2 2014

 

  Free cash outflow was EUR 30 million, compared to a free cash inflow of EUR 214 million in Q2 2014

 

  Separation process is progressing well

Frans van Houten, CEO:

“We are encouraged by the continuing improvement in our operational results in the second quarter of 2015, driven by strong comparable sales growth in Healthcare and strong margin improvements in Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting. While we are pleased with our progress overall and our Healthcare performance in the US in particular, we are increasingly concerned about the global macro-economic environment, particularly in China, Russia and Latin America.

In Healthcare, we achieved significant operational margin improvements in the quarter. This was largely offset by a sizable negative  foreign exchange impact on the margin, further investment in growth opportunities, and costs related to considerable continued efforts to improve our quality management systems. We also note that the Chinese market is becoming more difficult, which resulted in a drop in orders. We are pleased with the production and shipment ramp-up at our Cleveland manufacturing facility, although more work remains to be done.

In Consumer Lifestyle, we delivered further operational results improvements, driven by excellent performance in Health & Wellness. As previously indicated, phasing of new product introductions drove exceptionally strong growth in the first quarter, leading to the lower growth rate in the second quarter. In aggregate, comparable sales growth in the first half of 2015 was well within the range of mid to high single-digit growth.

In Lighting, we continued to drive strong sales growth and improve profitability levels in our LED business. Simultaneously, we sustained our conventional lighting business’ attractive cash and profitability profile by pro-actively optimizing our manufacturing  footprint and tight cost control, despite significant market decline. As the world leader in lighting, we are confident in our ability to lead the transformation in this industry.

Looking ahead, we continue to expect modest sales growth for 2015, as well as improved operational performance for the year. While we are concerned about the impact the more challenging global macro-economic environment is having on results, we expect continued operational performance improvement in 2016, reinforcing the underlying strength of our businesses. We intend to provide more details about the performance trajectory for HealthTech and Lighting Solutions at our Capital Markets Day on September 15.”

Accelerate! and Separation Update

“Our Accelerate! program continues to drive improvements across the organization. In Healthcare, we optimized the end-to-end  processes at one of our Volcano manufacturing facilities by running continuous-improvement Kaizen events that led to a more than 80% reduction in lead time and a 50% reduction in work-in-progress inventory for the improved lines. In Consumer Lifestyle, through our customer-centric innovation approach, we successfully launched a high-performance range of rice cookers in China with 30% faster time-to-market. This locally relevant value proposition drove strong customer preference, resulting in a 4-point market share increase since the launch. In Lighting, we reduced supply chain complexity and optimized the processes in the UK, which led to a 60% reduction in lead times for product configuration and delivery. This also drove a 50% increase in the total value of opportunities in the sales funnel and high-single-digit growth in orders volume.”

Overhead cost savings amounted to EUR 60 million in the second quarter. The Design for Excellence (DfX) program generated EUR 84 million of incremental savings in procurement in the quarter. Our End2End productivity program achieved EUR 36 million in productivity improvements.

Philips expects to finalize the transition of the Lighting business into its own legal structure within the Philips Group by February 2016 in order to complete the separation in the first half of 2016. Philips had previously estimated that the separation costs would amount to EUR 300-400 million in 2015. Now that the Company is halfway through the separation process, it anticipates lower separation costs of EUR 200-300 million in 2015 and estimates that separation costs, including related restructuring, will amount to EUR 200-300 million in 2016. As previously stated, Philips is reviewing all strategic options for the Lighting business, including an initial public offering and a private sale.

As additional time is required for regulatory approvals, Philips is now working towards closing the sale of a majority interest in the combined LED components and Automotive lighting business to a consortium led by GO Scale Capital in the fourth quarter of 2015.

As of June 30, 2015, Philips had completed 59% of the EUR 1.5 billion share buy-back program.

Q2 2015 Financial and Operational Overview

Healthcare

Healthcare comparable sales grew 8% year-on-year. Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, EBITA margin increased by 20 basis points to 10.7% as strong operational improvements were largely offset by a significant negative currency impact. Currency-comparable order intake showed a mid-single-digit decline year-on-year, with double-digit growth in North America offset by declines in China, Latin America and Western Europe.

“We are pleased that Healthcare continues to improve its sales growth and profitability, with North America making a significant and  positive contribution as we increase order fulfillment out of our Cleveland facility. We again secured strategically important multi-year contracts, including a USD 500 million partnership with Westchester Medical Center Health Network. Highlighting our leadership in ultrasound imaging and advanced informatics, we introduced the Philips Lumify app-based ultrasound solution in the US. The solution combines a dedicated Philips ultrasound transducer, a compatible smart device and application, and secure cloud-enabled services with an innovative subscription model that will generate recurring revenues.”

Consumer Lifestyle

Consumer Lifestyle comparable sales increased by 3% year-on-year, with double-digit growth at Health & Wellness and high-single-digit growth at Personal Care, in part offset by a decline at Domestic Appliances. EBITA margin, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, increased by 130 basis points to 10.7% year-on-year. The increase was largely driven by a positive mix effect and cost productivity, which were partially offset by negative currency effects.

“Consumer Lifestyle continues to perform well. We posted double-digit growth in Oral Healthcare, expanding market share in North America, China and Europe. We expanded leadership positions in multiple geographies, including market share gains in Mother & Child Care. Our strategic focus on innovation is illustrated by the positive reception in North America, China, and Europe for our new Philips Sonicare toothbrushes as well as the Sonicare AirFloss Pro.”

Lighting

Lighting comparable sales declined 3% year-on-year. Growth in LED lighting sales of 21% was offset by a decline in overall conventional lighting sales of 16%. LED sales now represent 40% of total Lighting sales, compared to 34% in Q2 2014. EBITA margin, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, improved by 140 basis points to 9.6% year-on-year, despite a significant negative currency impact on the margin. This increase was driven by the continued improvement in LED lighting margins, continued cost management, and ongoing pro-active optimization of the manufacturing footprint.

“We are pleased to have further improved our EBITA margin despite a sizable decline in comparable conventional lighting sales. We continue to take action to mitigate the impact of unfavorable end-market conditions in countries like China and underperformance in Professional Lighting Solutions North America. We are excited by the reception of our new, innovative products and systems in the market place. For example, we installed our intelligent connected LED system at a Carrefour supermarket in Lille, France, which will reduce the total lighting-based electricity consumption by 50% and enable our customer to provide location-based services, such as promotions, to shoppers’ smartphones. We also introduced the Warm Glow Clear LED bulb, which resembles traditional glass incandescent bulbs. We will outfit the New NY Bridge, which will replace the Tappan Zee bridge, with cloud-based connected LED lighting which features dynamic colorful effects that can be programmed remotely.”

Innovation, Group & Services

Sales amounted to EUR 136 million in the second quarter of 2015, a decline from EUR 142 million in the second quarter of 2014, mainly because higher revenues from IP Royalties and Group Innovation were offset by the divestment of the OEM remote controls business. EBITA was a net cost of EUR 124 million, reflecting increased innovation investments and costs of EUR 27 million related to the separation of the Lighting business, compared to a net cost of EUR 68 million in the second quarter of 2014.

“The fast growing Digital Pathology business is driving the digital transformation in pathology. As a world first, Philips has enabled Netherlands-based LabPON to become the first clinical pathology laboratory in the world to have transitioned completely to digital diagnosis. Philips’ ultrafast pathology scanner, information management system and services will improve laboratory efficiency, quality and service levels.”

Conference call and audio webcast

Frans van Houten, CEO, and Ron Wirahadiraksa, CFO, will host a conference call for investors and analysts at 10:00 am CET to discuss the results. A live audio webcast of the conference call will be available on the Philips Investor Relations website.

  Net income was EUR 274 million, compared to EUR 243 million in Q2 2014. The increase was mainly due to improved earnings as a result of higher volumes.

 

  EBITA amounted to EUR 450 million, or 7.5% of sales, compared to EUR 368 million, or 7.4% of sales, in Q2 2014. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges amounted to EUR 24 million, mainly related to the acquisition of Volcano. EBITA also included EUR 27 million of charges related to the separation of the Lighting business. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges in Q2 2014 amounted to EUR 26 million.

 

  EBITA, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, was EUR 501 million, or 8.4% of sales, compared to EUR 394 million, or 7.9% of sales, in Q2 2014. Currency effects had an impact on EBITA margin of -1.4 percentage points of sales.

 

  Tax charges of EUR 48 million were EUR 16 million higher than in Q2 2014, mainly due to higher earnings. The impact of the retrospective application of favorable tax regulations relating to R&D investments in Q2 2014 was offset by the release of tax provisions in Q2 2015.

The increase was largely driven by higher volumes, which were partly offset by negative currency impacts, an increase in Quality & Regulatory spend, and higher planned expenditure for growth initiatives at Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Services.

 

  Consumer Lifestyle EBITA increased by EUR 35 million year-on-year. Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges, EBITA was EUR 134 million, or 10.7% of sales, compared to EUR 101 million, or 9.4% of sales, in Q2 2014.

Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, EBITA was a net cost of EUR 105 million, compared to a net cost of EUR 64 million in Q2 2014. The net cost increase was mainly due to higher Group and Regional costs, higher costs in the IT Service Units, and investments in emerging business areas, partly offset by higher licensing revenue in IP Royalties.

Net debt and Group equity

 

  At the end of Q2 2015, Philips had a net debt position of EUR 4.5 billion, compared to EUR 2.3 billion at the end of Q2 2014. During the quarter, the net debt position increased by EUR 427 million, reflecting a EUR 105 million decrease in debt and a EUR 532 million decrease in liquidity.

 

  Group equity remained flat in the quarter at EUR 11.5 billion.

Employees

 

  The number of employees increased by 1,339 year-on-year. Reductions in headcount as a result of the industrial footprint rationalization at Lighting were more than offset by the GLC acquisition in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Volcano acquisition, and an increase in third-party workers.

 

  The number of employees decreased by 1,719 compared to Q1 2015, largely due to industrial footprint rationalization at Lighting.

Business highlights

 

  Philips and Westchester Medical Center Health Network entered into a multi-year, USD 500 million managed services partnership to transform and improve healthcare for 3 million patients. The agreement includes consulting services, medical technologies and clinical informatics solutions, and aims to improve all care areas, including radiology, cardiology, neurology, oncology and pediatrics.

 

  Continuing their focus on long-term collaboration to optimize hospital care and operational performance, Philips and the Sint Maartenskliniek in the Netherlands extended their existing 10-year managed services partnership by 5 years. The agreement includes ultrasound and healthcare IT services in addition to current access to radiology solutions.

 

  Working together to address the shift toward value-based care, Philips and Banner Health in the US announced the successful results of their at-home Intensive Ambulatory Care pilot program for patients with multiple chronic conditions. Through the joint telehealth program, Banner Health achieved 27% cost savings, driven primarily by a 45% reduction in hospital re-admissions.

 

  Philips introduced its Lumify app-based ultrasound solution in the US. Combining a dedicated Philips ultrasound transducer, a compatible smart device and app, and secure cloud-enabled services, Lumify has been designed to enable faster diagnosis, improve patient satisfaction and reduce costs, while generating recurring revenues.

 

  Exploring locally relevant solutions, the Rhiza Foundation and its technology partner Philips launched a mobile clinic pilot project focused on delivering basic primary healthcare, mother and child healthcare and dental care in particular to thousands of people living in townships in South Africa who have little or no access to healthcare facilities.

Financial performance

 

  Currency-comparable order intake showed a mid-single-digit decline year-on-year. Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Services achieved double-digit growth and Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions posted high-single-digit growth, while Imaging Systems recorded a double-digit decline.

 

  Currency-comparable order intake in mature geographies showed high-single-digit growth. North America achieved double-digit growth and other mature geographies posted high-single-digit growth, while Western Europe posted a low-single-digit decline, following a strong first quarter. Growth geographies recorded a double-digit decline, mainly due to double-digit declines in China and Latin America, reflecting deteriorating market conditions.

LOGO

  Comparable sales grew 8% year-on-year. Imaging Systems achieved strong double-digit growth, Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions posted mid-single-digit growth, and Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Services and Customer Services recorded low-single-digit growth.

 

  Comparable sales in mature geographies showed mid-single-digit growth. Other mature geographies achieved strong double-digit growth and Western Europe and North America posted mid-single-digit growth. Growth geographies recorded double-digit growth.

 

  EBITA amounted to EUR 275 million, or 10.0% of sales, compared to EUR 225 million, or 10.5% of sales, in Q2 2014. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges amounted to EUR 21 million, mainly related to the Volcano acquisition. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges in Q2 2014 amounted to a net release of EUR 1 million.

 

  Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, EBITA amounted to EUR 296 million, or 10.7% of sales, compared to EUR 224 million, or 10.5% of sales, in Q2 2014. The increase was largely driven by higher volumes, which were partly offset by negative currency impacts, an increase in Quality & Regulatory spend, and higher planned expenditure for growth initiatives at Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Services.

 

  Net operating capital, excluding a currency translation effect of EUR 1,317 million, increased by EUR 439 million year-on-year. This increase was largely driven by the Volcano acquisition, partly offset by higher provisions.

 

  Inventories as a percentage of sales* increased by 2.0 percentage points year-on-year, mainly driven by currency impacts and production ramp-up at the Cleveland facility.

 

  Compared to Q2 2014, the number of employees increased by 2,366, largely driven by the Volcano acquisition. Compared to Q1 2015, the number of employees increased by 622, mainly due to increases in production at Imaging Systems and Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions.

Miscellaneous

 

  Restructuring and acquisition-related charges in Q3 2015 are expected to total approximately EUR 35 million.

  Philips Oral Healthcare delivered double-digit growth, expanding the category and increasing Philips’ market share in North America, China and Europe. Sales growth was driven by the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean, Series 2 and Series 3 toothbrushes and the newest innovation in interdental cleaning, the Philips Sonicare AirFloss Pro.

 

  A diversified portfolio of innovations delivered results for Male Grooming in the quarter, with Asian markets particularly strong. In Japan, the ongoing success of the premium Philips Shaver series 9000 drove market share, as did continued demand for Philips VisaPure for Men. In South Korea, Philips Shaver series 7000, a proposition for sensitive skin, is selling well, while in India the launch of affordable beard trimmers in tier 2 and 3 cities drove strong growth.

 

  Philips Avent further built its leadership position in mother and child care, delivering double-digit growth, with exceptional performance in North America and China. Sales were driven by the continued expansion of infant and toddler feeding solutions that support healthy development, including the Philips Avent Natural, Classic+ and new cups range.

 

  Partnerships with leading beauty retailers, global propositions and locally relevant innovations continue to drive strong growth in Beauty. The Philips Lumea hair-removal device performed well in European markets. In India, an affordable hair straightener was successfully launched, recruiting more young women to home hairstyling, while Chinese women responded enthusiastically to new haircare innovations, including Philips EasyShine Ionic styling brushes.

Financial performance

 

  Comparable sales increased by 3% year-on-year. Health & Wellness achieved double-digit growth, while Personal Care posted high-single-digit growth and Domestic Appliances recorded a mid-single-digit decline. As previously indicated, phasing of new product introductions drove exceptionally strong growth in the first quarter, leading to the lower growth rate in the second quarter.

 

  Comparable sales in growth geographies showed mid-single-digit growth. Mature geographies recorded low-single-digit growth. North America and other mature geographies recorded low-single-digit growth, while Western Europe was in line with Q2 2014.

 

  EBITA amounted to EUR 135 million, or 10.8% of sales, compared to EUR 100 million, or 9.3% of sales, in Q2 2014. EBITA included restructuring and acquisition-related charges amounting to a net release of EUR 1 million, compared with a cost of EUR 1 million in Q2 2014.

LOGO

  Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges, EBITA was EUR 134 million, or 10.7% of sales, compared to EUR 101 million, or 9.4% of sales, in Q2 2014. The improvement was mainly due to product mix and cost productivity.

 

  Net operating capital, excluding a currency translation effect of EUR 181 million, increased by EUR 222 million year-on-year. The increase was largely driven by higher working capital.

 

  Inventories as a percentage of sales* were broadly in line with Q2 2014.

 

  The number of employees decreased by 339 compared to Q2 2014, mainly due to reductions in Asia Pacific. Compared to Q1 2015, the number of employees decreased by 501, largely due to a reduction in third-party workers at Domestic Appliances and Personal Care.

Miscellaneous

 

  Restructuring and acquisition-related charges in Q3 2015 are expected to be less than EUR 5 million.

  In Lille, France, Carrefour will install 2.5 kilometers of Philips LED lighting that uses light to transmit a location signal to a shopper’s smartphone, triggering an app to provide location-based services. This enables Carrefour to provide new services to its shoppers, such as helping them to navigate and find promotions across the 7,800 square-meter shop floor. It is the world’s largest connected lighting indoor positioning system for retail and reduces the total lighting-based electricity consumption of the hypermarket by 50%.

 

  Philips will provide a connected LED lighting system for the New NY Bridge in New York, which will replace the Tappan Zee bridge. It will combine roadway and architectural lighting, an industry first, on what will be the most technologically advanced bridge in North America. The system will feature remotely programmed lights that produce dynamic colorful effects and use Philips ActiveSite and Philips CityTouch cloud-based remote monitoring and management systems.

 

  In India, Philips won an order for 15 million 7W LED lamps from Energy Efficiency Services Limited, as part of the Indian government’s initiative to promote energy-efficient lighting for households and help reduce electricity consumption at peak periods.

 

  Based on consumer insights, Philips successfully introduced the Warm Glow Clear LED bulb, which mimics traditional bulbs, in North America. Similar in light quality and shape, it now also turns to a classic warm light when dimmed. The lamp will become available in other regions later this year, for professional as well as consumer use.

Financial performance

 

  Comparable sales showed a 3% decline year-on-year. Professional Lighting Solutions posted a low-single-digit decline. Light Sources & Electronics recorded a mid-single-digit decline and Consumer Luminaires posted a high-single-digit decline.

 

  Comparable sales in mature geographies showed a low-single-digit decline compared to Q2 2014. Growth geographies recorded a mid-single-digit decline, mainly due to China.

 

  LED-based sales grew 21% year-on-year and now represent 40% of total Lighting sales, compared to 34% in Q2 2014. Conventional-based sales declined 16% year-on-year and now represent 60% of total Lighting sales, compared to 66% in Q2 2014.

  EBITA amounted to EUR 164 million, or 8.9% of sales, compared to EUR 111 million, or 6.9% of sales, in Q2 2014. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges amounted to EUR 12 million, compared to EUR 22 million in Q2 2014.

 

  EBITA, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges, was EUR 176 million, or 9.6% of sales, compared to EUR 133 million, or 8.2% of sales, in Q2 2014. The increase was mainly driven by improved cost productivity at Light Sources & Electronics and Professional Lighting Solutions.

 

  Net operating capital, excluding a currency translation effect of EUR 576 million, decreased by EUR 1,064 million year-on-year. The decrease was mainly due to the reclassification of the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive as assets held for sale in Q4 2014.

 

  Inventories as a percentage of sales* increased 1.2 percentage points year-on-year, mainly due to currency impacts.

 

  Compared to Q2 2014, the number of employees decreased by 1,229, reflecting a decrease from industrial footprint rationalization, partially offset by the GLC acquisition in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Compared to Q1 2015, the number of employees decreased by 2,064, mainly driven by a seasonal decrease at production sites.

Miscellaneous

 

  Restructuring and acquisition-related charges in Q3 2015 are expected to total approximately EUR 30 million, mainly driven by industrial footprint rationalization.

Additional information on the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive

 

The combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive are reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated statements of income and cash flows.

The applicable assets and liabilities of the combined businesses are reported under Assets and Liabilities classified as held for sale in the Condensed consolidated balance sheets as per November 2014.

As announced on March 31, 2015, Philips has signed an agreement with a consortium led by GO Scale Capital, through which they will acquire an 80.1% interest in Philips’ combined LED components and Automotive lighting business, with Philips retaining the remaining 19.9%* interest. As additional time is required for regulatory approvals, Philips is now working towards closing the sale in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In Q2 2015, the net income of discontinued operations attributable to the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive increased to EUR 49 million from EUR 32 million in Q2 2014. EBITA in Q2 2015 included disentanglement costs of EUR 14 million, compared to nil in Q2 2014.

Overhead and other indirect costs of Philips that were previously allocated to Lumileds and Automotive and were not affected by the transfer to Discontinued operations have been allocated to Lighting and IG&S (Former net costs allocated to Lighting and IG&S).

Business highlights

 

  Philips entered into a five-year research alliance with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop breakthrough innovations in HealthTech and Connected Lighting. Philips will move its North American research center to Cambridge, Mass. to engage with the area’s rich innovation ecosystem.

 

  Applying the deep consumer insights of Philips’ unique, multi-disciplinary design team to professional healthcare, Philips has expanded its healthcare experience consultancy services with co-creation workshops with the C-suite of existing and prospective customers. The first series of workshops successfully demonstrated the value that Philips can create for its customers, for example in terms of productivity improvements and patient satisfaction, reinforcing customer intimacy.

 

  As a pioneer and leader in the emerging digital pathology market, Philips has enabled Netherlands- based LabPON to become the first clinical pathology laboratory in the world to have transitioned completely to digital diagnosis. Philips’ ultrafast pathology scanner, information management system and services will improve laboratory efficiency, quality and service levels.

 

  For the second consecutive year, Philips received the ‘Champion for Change’ award from Practice Greenhealth, North America’s leading membership and networking organization for institutions in the healthcare community, in recognition of its green health practices and sustainability initiatives with its customers and across the organization.

Financial performance

 

  Sales decreased from EUR 142 million in Q2 2014 to EUR 136 million. Higher revenue from IP Royalties and Group Innovation was offset by lower sales in the OEM remote controls business following its divestment.

 

  EBITA amounted to a net cost of EUR 124 million, compared to a net cost of EUR 68 million in Q2 2014. EBITA included EUR 27 million of charges related to the separation of the Lighting business. Restructuring charges amounted to a net release of EUR 8 million, compared to a cost of EUR 4 million in Q2 2014.

in millions of EUR

 

LOGO

  Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, EBITA was a net cost of EUR 105 million, compared to a net cost of EUR 64 million in Q2 2014. The net cost increase was mainly due to higher Group and Regional costs, higher costs in the IT Service Units, and investments in emerging business areas, partly offset by higher licensing revenue in IP Royalties.

 

  Net operating capital, excluding a currency translation effect of EUR 314 million, decreased by EUR 460 million year-on-year, mainly due to a decrease in working capital.

 

  Compared to Q2 2014, the number of employees increased by 541, primarily driven by growth at the Philips Innovation Campus in Bangalore. The number of employees increased by 224 compared to Q1 2015.

Miscellaneous

 

  Restructuring and separation charges in Q3 2015 are expected to total approximately EUR 85 million.

Forward-looking statements

Forward-looking statements

This document and the related oral presentation, including responses to questions following the presentation, contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Philips and certain of the plans and objectives of Philips with respect to these items. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements made about the strategy, estimates of sales growth, future EBITA, future developments in Philips’ organic business and the completion of acquisitions and divestments. By their nature, these statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances and there are many factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements.

These factors include but are not limited to domestic and global economic and business conditions, developments within the euro zone, the successful implementation of Philips’ strategy and the ability to realize the benefits of this strategy, the ability to develop and market new products, changes in legislation, legal claims, changes in exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates, pension costs and actuarial assumptions, raw materials and employee costs, the ability to identify and complete successful acquisitions, including Volcano, and to integrate those acquisitions into the business, the ability to successfully exit certain businesses or restructure the operations, the rate of technological changes, political, economic and other developments in countries where Philips operates, industry consolidation and competition. As a result, Philips’ actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in such forward-looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause future results to differ from such forward-looking statements, see the Risk management chapter included in the Annual Report 2014.

Third-party market share data

Statements regarding market share, including those regarding Philips’ competitive position, contained in this document are based on outside sources such as research institutes, industry and dealer panels in combination with management estimates. Where information is not yet available to Philips, those statements may also be based on estimates and projections prepared by outside sources or management. Rankings are based on sales unless otherwise stated.

Use of non-GAAP information

In presenting and discussing the Philips Group financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measures and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures is contained in this document. Further information on non-GAAP measures can be found in the Annual Report 2014.

Use of fair-value measurements

In presenting the Philips Group financial position, fair values are used for the measurement of various items in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. These fair values are based on market prices, where available, and are obtained from sources that are deemed to be reliable. Readers are cautioned that these values are subject to changes over time and are only valid at the balance sheet date. When quoted prices or observable market data are not readily available, fair values are estimated using appropriate valuation models and unobservable inputs. Such fair value estimates require management to make significant assumptions with respect to future developments, which are inherently uncertain and may therefore deviate from actual developments. Critical assumptions used are disclosed in the Annual Report 2014. Independent valuations may have been obtained to support management’s determination of fair values.

Presentation

All amounts are in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. All reported data is unaudited. Financial reporting is in accordance with the accounting policies as stated in the Annual Report 2014, unless otherwise stated.

In 2014, we announced plans to establish two stand-alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting Solutions opportunities. The proposed separation of the Lighting business impacts all businesses and markets as well as all supporting functions and all assets and liabilities of the Group. Philips expects the separation will take approximately 12-18 months. We expect to continue reporting in the existing structure until the changes in the way we allocate resources and analyze performance in the new structure have been completed.

Management report

 

The first six months of 2015

  EBITA, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, amounted to EUR 828 million, or 7.3% of sales, compared to EUR 698 million, or 7.2 % of sales, in the first half of 2014, mainly due to improved operational results at Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting.

 

  Net income amounted to EUR 374 million, compared to EUR 380 million in the first half of 2014.

Performance of the Group

 

  Group sales amounted to EUR 11.3 billion, EUR 1,652 million higher than in the first half of 2014. Adjusted for currency impacts and consolidation changes, sales were 3% higher year-on-year.

 

  Group EBITA amounted to EUR 680 million, or 6.0% of sales, an increase of EUR 59 million compared to the first half of 2014. The first half of 2015 included EUR 82 million of restructuring and acquisition-related charges, compared to EUR 77 million in the first half of 2014. 2015 also included a EUR 28 million charge related to the currency revaluation of the provision for the Masimo litigation and EUR 38 million of charges related to the separation of the Lighting business.

 

  Excluding the impact of restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, EBITA increased by EUR 130 million compared to the first half of 2014. The year-on-year increase was mainly driven by improved operational performance at Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting.

 

  Net income of EUR 374 million was broadly in line with the first half of 2014, as higher earnings in 2015 were offset by higher income tax expense and lower income from discontinued operations.

 

  Cash flow from operating activities was an outflow of EUR 70 million, compared to an inflow of EUR 137 million in the first half of 2014. The cash flow in the first half of 2015 included a working capital increase of EUR 331 million, compared to a decrease of EUR 51 million in the first half of 2014.

Healthcare

 

  Equipment order intake at Healthcare declined 1% compared to the first half of 2014. Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Services achieved double-digit growth and Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions posted mid-single-digit growth, while Imaging Systems recorded a mid-single-digit decline. North America equipment order intake showed high-single-digit growth, while Western Europe and other mature geographies reported low-single-digit growth. Growth geographies reported a double-digit decline, mainly due to China and Latin America.

 

  Sales amounted to EUR 5,015 million. Excluding currency effects and portfolio changes, comparable sales increased by 5% year-on-year. Imaging Systems achieved double-digit growth, while Customer Services and Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Services posted low-single-digit growth and Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions was in line with the first half of 2014. From a geographical perspective, comparable sales in growth geographies showed double-digit growth, and mature geographies recorded low-single-digit growth.

 

  EBITA amounted to EUR 340 million, or 6.8% of sales, compared to EUR 377 million, or 9.2% of sales, in the first half of 2014. EBITA in the first half of 2015 included restructuring and acquisition-related charges of EUR 51 million, compared to EUR 20 million in the first half of 2014. 2015 EBITA also included a EUR 28 million charge related to the currency revaluation of the provision for the Masimo litigation.

 

  Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, EBITA amounted to EUR 419 million, or 8.4% of sales, compared to EUR 397 million, or 9.7% of sales, in the first half of 2014. The increase was largely driven by higher volumes, which were partly offset by negative currency impacts, an increase in Quality & Regulatory spend, and higher planned expenditure for growth initiatives at Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Services.

Consumer Lifestyle

 

  Sales amounted to EUR 2,438 million. Excluding currency effects and portfolio changes, comparable sales increased by 6% year-on-year. Double-digit comparable sales growth was seen at Health & Wellness, Personal Care achieved high-single-digit growth, while Domestic Appliances was in line with the first half of 2014.

The year-on-year increase of EUR 61 million was mainly driven by product mix and cost productivity.

Lighting

 

  Sales amounted to EUR 3,555 million, a year-on-year increase of EUR 366 million. Excluding currency effects and portfolio changes, comparable sales decreased 3% year-on-year. Both Light Sources & Electronics and Consumer Luminaires recorded a mid-single-digit decline, while Professional Lighting Solutions achieved low-single-digit growth year-on-year. From a geographical perspective, comparable sales showed a mid-single-digit decline in growth geographies and a low-single-digit decline in mature geographies.

  EBITA, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges, amounted to EUR 320 million, or 9.0% of sales, compared to EUR 259 million, or 8.1% of sales, in the first half of 2014. The increase was mainly driven by cost productivity at Light Sources & Electronics and Professional Lighting Solutions.

Innovation, Group & Services

 

  EBITA amounted to a net cost of EUR 213 million, compared to EUR 171 million in the first half of 2014. EBITA included charges of EUR 38 million related to the separation of the Lighting business.

  Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other items, EBITA was a net cost of EUR 181 million, compared to a net cost of EUR 167 million in the first half of 2014. The year-on-year increase in net cost was mainly due to higher Group and Regional costs and investments in emerging business areas, partly offset by higher licensing revenue in IP Royalties.

Risks and uncertainties

 

  In the Annual Report 2014, certain risk categories and risks are described which could have a material adverse effect on Philips’ financial position and results. Those categories and risks remain valid and should be read in conjunction with this semi-annual report.
 

 

26    Press Release Q2 2015    LOGO


Table of Contents
  Looking ahead to the second half of 2015, Philips is increasingly concerned about the global macroeconomic environment, particularly China, Russia and Latin America.

 

  Also, Philips operates in a highly regulated product safety and quality environment. Philips products and facilities are subject to regulation and ongoing inspections by various government agencies, including, in particular, in the Healthcare sector by the FDA (US) and comparable non-US agencies. As announced in 2014, Philips voluntarily suspended production at the Cleveland, Ohio facility. Since then, several remediation actions by Philips have been taken and/or are ongoing at that facility, and the facility is gradually resuming production and shipment of CT systems, with the goal of having shipment levels return to 2013 levels by the end of this year. However, returning to those levels will depend on external and internal factors with respect to the remediation efforts, including FDA review thereof. Philips is undertaking considerable efforts to improve quality and management systems in all of its Healthcare operations. The remediation work in this area will continue to affect the Company’s results in 2015. In addition, the FDA has inspected certain of Philips Healthcare’s other sites. Philips’ production and shipments in the future could be affected by an adverse outcome of these or other regulatory inspections and related claims and actions by regulators and others.

 

  Finally, the design and implementation of the separation requires the devotion of substantial time and attention from management and staff. The separation efforts could distract from and have an adverse effect on the conduct of normal business and the company’s strategy. The separation is a complex process which could consume more time than originally anticipated and may expose Philips to risks of additional costs and other adverse consequences. The Annual Report 2014 contains a comprehensive description of the Separation Risk.

 

  Additional risks not known to Philips, or currently believed not to be material, could later turn out to have a material impact on Philips’ business, objectives, revenues, income, assets, liquidity or capital resources.

Notes to the unaudited semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements

all amounts in millions of EUR unless otherwise stated

This report contains the semi-annual report of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (‘the Company’), a company with limited liability, headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’).

The semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as adopted by the European Union.

 

LOGO Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies applied in these semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s consolidated IFRS financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014, except for the accounting policy changes following from the adoption of new Standards and Amendments to Standards which are also expected to be reflected in the Company’s consolidated IFRS financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2015, and certain other changes mentioned below. The new and amended standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other changes

Prior-period financial statements have been restated for two changes applied as of January 1, 2015:

 

  The Company presents derivative financial instruments as current or non-current on the basis of the expected settlement date. At December 31, 2014, EUR 15 million and EUR 551 million were reclassified to Non-current derivative financial assets and Non-current derivative financial liabilities respectively, in conformity with the current year presentation.

 

  Instead of presenting treasury shares transactions in the consolidated cash flow statement on a net basis, the Company now presents separate lines for treasury shares-related cash inflows and cash outflows.

LOGO Estimates

The preparation of the semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant estimates and judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

LOGO Financial risk management

The Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

LOGO Segment information

Philips’ activities are organized on a sector basis, with operational sectors – Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting – each being responsible for the management of its business worldwide, and Innovation, Group & Services (IG&S).

Reportable segments for the purpose of the segmental disclosures required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements are: Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting.

In 2014, Philips announced plans to establish two stand-alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting Solutions opportunities. Philips expects to continue reporting in the existing structure until the changes in the way it allocates resources and analyzes performance in the new structure have been completed.

Significant segment information can be found in the Sectors and Reconciliation of non-GAAP performance measures sections of this semi-annual report.

 

LOGO Seasonality

Under normal economic conditions, the Group’s sales are impacted by seasonal fluctuations, particularly at Consumer Lifestyle and Healthcare, typically resulting in higher revenues and earnings in the second half-year results. At Healthcare, sales are generally higher in the second half of the year, largely due to the timing of new product availability and customers attempting to spend their annual budgeted allowances before the end of the year. At Consumer Lifestyle, sales are generally higher in the second half-year due to the holiday sales. Sales in the Lighting businesses are generally not materially affected by seasonality.

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting had revenues of EUR 10,098 million, EUR 5,080 million and EUR 7,235 million respectively (12 months ended June 29, 2014, Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting had revenues of EUR 9,190 million, EUR 4,609 million and EUR 6,866 million, respectively).

 

LOGO Discontinued operations and other assets classified as held for sale

2015

Acquisitions

Philips completed two acquisitions in the first six months of 2015. These acquisitions involved an aggregated cash consideration of EUR 1,253 million, with Volcano Corporation (Volcano) being the most notable acquisition.

On February 17, 2015, Philips completed the acquisition of Volcano for a total cash consideration of EUR 1,250 million. This amount involved the purchase price of shares (EUR 822 million), the payoff of certain debt (EUR 405 million) and the settlement of outstanding stock options (EUR 23 million). The overall cash position of Volcano on the transaction date was EUR 158 million, resulting in a net cash outflow related to this acquisition of EUR 1,092 million.

Volcano is a US-based global leader in catheter-based imaging and measurement solutions for cardiovascular applications and is very complementary to the Philips vision, strategy, and portfolio in image-guided therapy.

Acquisition-related costs that were recognized in General and administrative expenses amounted to EUR 15 million. As of February 17, 2015, Volcano is 100% consolidated as part of the Healthcare sector. The condensed balance sheet of Volcano immediately before and after the acquisition is as follows:

For the period from February 17, 2015, Volcano contributed sales of EUR 122 million and a loss from operations of EUR 38 million.

Divestments

Philips completed three divestments during 2015: the sale of the 20% interest in Assembléon Holding B.V.; the sale of the remote control activities; and the sale of certain smaller Healthcare activities in the Netherlands. These transactions involved an aggregated cash consideration of EUR 71 million.

 

LOGO Income taxes

Income tax expense in the first half of 2015 was higher than in the corresponding period of the previous year, largely due to the impact of the retrospective application of favorable tax regulations relating to R&D investments in Q2 2014, partly offset by the release of tax provisions in Q2 2015.

 

LOGO Property, plant and equipment

The main increases in property, plant and equipment consist of additions of EUR 230 million (six months ended June 29, 2014: EUR 228 million), EUR 105 million due to the acquisition of Volcano, and translation differences of EUR 111 million. This was offset by depreciation and impairment charges of EUR 264 million (six months ended June 29, 2014: EUR 295 million).

Goodwill increased by EUR 615 million in the first half of 2015 due to the acquisition of Volcano. The movement of EUR 655 million in translation differences was mainly due to the increase in the USD/EUR rate, which impacted the goodwill denominated in USD.

For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to (groups of) cash-generating units (typically one level below operational sector level), which represents the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored internally for management purposes.

In 2015, the activities of Imaging Systems in the sector Healthcare was split over three new cash-generating units: Image-Guided Therapy, Ultrasound and Diagnostic Imaging. As a result of the change, the goodwill associated with Imaging Systems was allocated over these three new units.

Goodwill allocated to the cash-generating units Respiratory Care & Sleep Management, Image-Guided Therapy, Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions and Professional Lighting Solutions is considered to be significant in comparison to the total book value of goodwill for the Group at June 30, 2015. The amounts associated as of June 30, 2015, are presented below:

value of the units, therefore no impairment loss was recognized. Key assumptions used in the impairment tests for these units were sales growth rates, income from operations and the rates used for discounting the projected cash flows. These cash flow projections were determined using management’s internal forecasts that cover an initial period from 2015 to 2019 that matches the period used for Philips’ strategic process.

Projections were extrapolated with stable or declining growth rates for a period of 5 years, after which a terminal value was calculated. For terminal value calculation, growth rates were capped at a historical long-term average growth rate.

The sales growth rates and margins used to estimate cash flows are based on past performance, external market growth assumptions and industry long-term growth averages.

Income from operations in the units mentioned is expected to increase over the projection period as a result of volume growth and cost efficiencies.

Cash flow projections of Respiratory Care & Sleep Management, Image-Guided Therapy, Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions and Professional Lighting Solutions for 2015 were based on the following key assumptions (used in the annual impairment test performed in the second quarter):

2) Also referred to later in the text as compound long-term sales growth rate

Among the mentioned units, Professional Lighting Solutions has the lowest excess of the recoverable amount over the carrying amount. The headroom of Professional Lighting Solutions was estimated at EUR 600 million. The following changes could, individually, cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value:

The results of the annual impairment test of Respiratory Care & Sleep Management, Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions and Image-Guided Therapy indicate that a reasonably possible change in key assumptions would not cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value.

Additional information

In addition, other units are sensitive to fluctuations in the assumptions as set out above.

Based on the annual impairment test, it was noted that the headroom for the cash-generating unit Home Monitoring was EUR 30 million. An increase of 130 points in the pre-tax discounting rate, a 320 basis points decline in the compound long-term sales growth rate or a 19% decrease in terminal value would cause its value in use to fall to the level of its carrying value. The goodwill allocated to Home Monitoring at June 30, 2015 amounts to EUR 36 million.

Based on the annual impairment test, it was noted that with regard to the headroom for the cash-generating unit Consumer Luminaires the estimated recoverable amount approximates the carrying value of this cash-generating unit. Consequently, any adverse change in key assumptions would, individually, cause an impairment loss to be recognized. The goodwill allocated to Consumer Luminaires at June 30, 2015 amounts to EUR 126 million.

LOGO Inventories

In the first half of 2015, inventories increased by EUR 659 million (first half of 2014: EUR 398 million). The change was largely driven by translation differences of EUR 241 million (first half of 2014: EUR 27 million) and the improved operational performance of the sectors.

 

LOGO Other current and non-current financial assets

Changes in Other current and non-current financial assets mainly relate to changes in the asset category Loans and receivables which are included in this caption. The decrease in Current financial assets is related to repayment of a EUR 121 million loan by TPV Technology Limited.

 

LOGO Shareholders’ equity

In June 2015, Philips settled a dividend of EUR 0.80 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 729 million. Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share dividend. Approximately 59% of the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issuance of 17,671,990 new common shares. The settlement of the cash dividend involved an amount of EUR 298 million.

As of June 30, 2015, the issued and fully-paid share capital consists of 952,491,403 common shares, each share having a par value of EUR 0.20.

During the first six months of 2015, a total of 4,271,860 treasury shares were delivered as a result of stock option exercises and restricted share deliveries. Furthermore, a total of 11,055,816 shares were acquired for cancellation purposes in connection with the EUR 1.5 billion share buy-back program started in October 2013. On June 30, 2015 the total number of treasury shares amounted to 27,214,500, which were purchased at an average price of EUR 25.54 per share.

 

LOGO Short-term and long-term debt

At the end of Q2 2015, Philips had total debt of EUR 5,680 million, an increase of EUR 1,576 million compared to December 31, 2014. Long-term debt was EUR 4,048 million, an increase of EUR 336 million, and short-term debt was EUR 1,632 million, an increase of EUR 1,240 million compared to December 31, 2014. The movement of debt was mainly due to a new borrowing of a USD 1,300 million bridge loan used for the Volcano acquisition, together with a currency translation effect on USD bonds. The majority of the long-term debt consists of USD 4,117 million of public bonds with a weighted average interest rate of 5.59% at the end of Q2 2015.

The decrease in provisions was attributable to:

 

  the reduction in restructuring-related provisions was mainly due to usage (particularly in Lighting) and releases (mainly in IG&S and Lighting), which were offset by additions (mainly due to adjustments to industrial footprint rationalization projects in Lighting);

 

  the reduction in litigation provisions was mainly due to settlements for certain parts of the Cathode Ray Tube antitrust litigation, as mentioned in note 19, Contingent assets and liabilities. This decrease was partly offset by translation differences for provisions denominated in USD.

 

LOGO Pensions

In accordance with IAS 34, remeasurements are reported in the semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements if there have been significant market fluctuations. With the exception of the settlement of the Dutch pension plan referred to below, no actuarial gains and losses were recorded in the first six months of 2015 since there were no significant market fluctuations, and no further significant one-off events such as plan amendments or curtailments occurred.

Developments in the Dutch pension plan

In Q1 2015 the Company completed its EUR 600 million one-off contribution as part of the de-risking of the Dutch pension plan initiated in 2014 through a final payment to the Dutch plan of EUR 171 million including interest.

In May 2015 the Company waived its right to receive discounts on future pension contributions, thereby settling the defined benefit obligation and giving up the plan assets, both amounting to EUR 19.2 billion, after which it applied a change to Defined Contribution (DC) accounting for the Dutch pension plan. The full plan settlement triggered by this change did not have an effect on the income statement or balance sheet as the

Table of Contents

Company’s surplus (plan assets exceeding the defined benefit obligation) was not recognized due to the asset ceiling restrictions. As a result of the change to DC, the pension costs for the remainder of 2015 will be reduced by approximately EUR 26 million as the contribution under DC accounting, which is recorded in the income statement, is lower than the service costs under previous Defined Benefit (DB) accounting.

Contingent assets

For information regarding contingent assets, please refer to the Annual Report 2014. Significant developments regarding contingent assets that have occurred since the publication of the Annual Report 2014 are described below:

Zoll

Additional Zoll products (i.e. Zoll’s Advanced Life Support (ALS) products) were subsequently added to the lawsuit by Philips as infringing Philips’ defibrillator-related patents. Resolution of the amount ultimately owed to Philips in the Zoll lawsuit is contingent upon both the CAFC affirming the December 2013 jury decision on liability (expected no earlier than the second half of 2015) and the subsequent damages trial (expected to take place during the second half of 2016).

Contingent liabilities

Guarantees

Philips’ policy is to provide guarantees and other letters of support only in writing. Philips does not stand by other forms of support. At the end of Q2 2015, the total fair value of guarantees recognized on the balance sheet amounted to less than EUR 1 million (December 31, 2014: less than EUR 1 million). Remaining off-balance-sheet business and credit-related guarantees provided on behalf of third parties and associates decreased by EUR 1 million during the first half of 2015 to EUR 20 million.

Legal proceedings

The Company and certain of its group companies and former group companies are involved as a party in legal proceedings, including regulatory and other governmental proceedings, including discussions on potential remedial actions, relating to such matters as competition issues, intellectual property, commercial transactions, product liability, participations and environmental pollution. Since the ultimate disposition of asserted claims and proceedings and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

For information regarding legal proceedings in which the Company is involved, please refer to the Annual Report 2014. Significant developments regarding legal proceedings that have occurred since the publication of the Annual Report 2014 are described below:

Cathode-Ray Tubes (CRT)

In the civil litigation pending before the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, further settlements have been reached with individual plaintiffs. In effect, all cases originally scheduled for trial in 2015 have now been resolved, leaving unresolved only those cases that were consolidated in the California case for pre-trial purposes and have to be transferred back to their original venue for further proceedings.

In the proposed class proceeding in Canada, the class certification motion for Ontario has been rescheduled from April 2015 to January 2016 due to the unavailability of the plaintiffs’ expert.

Finally, as expected and previously referred to in the Annual Report 2014, the Company became involved in further civil CRT antitrust cases with previous CRT customers in the United Kingdom and Denmark in addition to the cases already pending in the Netherlands and Israel.

Masimo

In February 2015 the United States District Court for the District of Delaware held a bench trial regarding the enforceability of one of Masimo’s patents and a hearing addressing several post-trial motions following the October 2014 jury decision. In May 2015, the Court decided that the Masimo patent was not held unenforceable, denied Philips’ motions to reverse the October 2014 jury decision regarding the validity of the Masimo patents-in-suit and/or the damages awarded by the jury to Masimo and denied Philips’ request for a new trial. The Court also denied Masimo’s motion to dismiss Philips’ complaint directed to antitrust violations and patent misuse by Masimo. The antitrust and patent misuse phase of the litigation will now proceed to the merits phase. An additional ongoing phase of the litigation addresses the alleged infringement of certain patents of Philips and Masimo which were not included in the first phase of the litigation. Philips continues to pursue all avenues of appeal regarding the October 2014 decision before the Appellate courts in the US.

Level 1

Instruments included in level 1 are comprised primarily of listed equity investments classified as available-for-sale financial assets, investees and financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

The fair value of Philips’ bond is estimated on the basis of the quoted market prices for certain issues. Accrued interest is not included.

Level 2

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) are determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 2.

The fair value of derivatives is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable interest yield curves and foreign exchange rates.

In 2015 a EUR 121 million loan matured and has been repaid by TPV Technology Limited.

Level 3

If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

The table below shows the reconciliation from the beginning balance to the end balance for fair value measured in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
